I am a sustainability consultant and carbon strategist with 6+ years of experience supporting organizations on climate strategy, carbon accounting, and life cycle-based decision-making. My background is in environmental science, and my work focuses on helping companies and climate-focused teams build transparent, defensible sustainability and carbon data aligned with recognised standards and real-world use cases.
-----> MY EXPERIENCE
I specialize in carbon accounting and Life Cycle Assessment, supporting organizations with Scope 1 - 3 GHG inventories, product-level carbon footprints, and audit-ready climate analysis. My recent work includes developing carbon-credit and MRV frameworks (with a focus on biochar-based carbon removal projects), conducting LCAs and Product Carbon Footprints across energy, materials, and industrial systems, and supporting CBAM-related emissions analysis through emission-factor mapping and exporter-side datasets. Across projects, I focus on producing technically sound, defensible outputs that can withstand review, verification, and compliance scrutiny.
-----> MY APPROACH
I take a methodical and practical approach to sustainability and carbon work, starting with clarity on the purpose of the analysis and the standards it must align with. I identify data gaps early, apply conservative and defensible assumptions where needed, and document decisions clearly to ensure transparency. I work collaboratively with clients and aim to deliver outputs that are technically robust, easy to review, and suitable for audit, compliance, or strategic decision-making.
-----> MY SERVICES
My work typically includes carbon accounting and Scope 1–3 GHG inventories, LCA and PCF, carbon-credit and MRV framework development, CBAM-related emissions analysis, identification of environmental and CO₂ hotspots, and support for environmental product declarations, sustainability reporting. I’m comfortable working with both detailed datasets and real-world data constraints.
-----> MY VALUE
Clients work with me when accuracy, transparency, and methodological alignment matter. My value lies in combining technical depth with sound judgment, flagging weak assumptions early, explaining trade-offs clearly, and building sustainability and carbon outputs that can be confidently used for compliance, verification, internal strategy, or external reporting. I see my role as a long-term technical partner rather than a transactional service provider.
-----> WORKING TOGETHER
If you’re looking to strengthen your sustainability or carbon strategy, develop credible carbon and LCA data, support compliance initiatives such as CBAM, or evaluate climate and decarbonization projects, I’d be happy to discuss how I can help.

With over 20+ years of IT and digital transformation experience, I have worked as a highly skilled Senior Digital Program Manager, SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE), Technology Solution Manager, Agile Coach, and Business Analyst, partnering with leading global organizations such as IKEA Sweden, IBM Global, Decathlon IT, Cushman & Wakefield, Jumio Corporation, and more recently with Ragu AI on enterprise AI platform delivery.
I am also designated with the Top Talent badge on Upwork, placing me among the top 3% of freelancers, with 6,000+ hours of successful delivery across global clients and complex digital transformation programs.
I am proud to be a University Gold Medalist, blogger, and keynote speaker, and I bring strong expertise in managing complex, business-critical programs across domains, distributed teams, and multiple geographies. Over the years, I have been recognized multiple times as a star performer by C-suite stakeholders for my delivery leadership, stakeholder management, and ability to build alignment across business and technology teams.
I also bring solid hands-on experience across Gantt, ClickUp, Jira (including Advanced Roadmaps), Monday, Slack, and Confluence, with over 10 years of usage across enterprise delivery environments. On the technology side, I have worked closely with teams across Python, Java, React, and C++, and have also led delivery initiatives involving Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
Recent AI / Enterprise Delivery Experience
Ragu AI – Enterprise AI Platform Delivery
Most recently, I have been leading delivery and product operations for an enterprise AI platform focused on knowledge-grounded assistants and a multi-tenant SaaS architecture. My responsibilities include roadmap execution, sprint planning, engineering governance, stakeholder management, and cross-functional delivery across platform hardening, AI capabilities, DevOps, and customer onboarding initiatives. I have been driving the implementation of scalable AI workflows, enterprise integrations, delivery processes, and governance mechanisms to support secure, production-ready deployments and multi-client rollouts of AI-powered solutions.
Cushman & Wakefield – Digital Transformation / Product & Program Delivery
At Cushman & Wakefield, I have been involved in enterprise product and digital transformation initiatives, working closely with stakeholders on technology delivery, AI-led solution discussions, workflow/process improvements, roadmap planning, and execution governance. My work has included coordinating across business teams, engineering, and leadership to drive delivery alignment, streamline operational processes, and support the rollout of strategic product and technology initiatives in a complex enterprise environment.
Project Achievements
I am particularly proud of two major digital initiatives at Decathlon India, where I led the complete software engineering workflow and product rollout from scratch for Decathlon App and AllForSport.
Building a social network and sports engagement platform was new for Decathlon and represented an important step in their omnichannel transformation journey. The initiative involved significant ambiguity, evolving business requirements, and continuous prioritization of what would deliver the most impact. I played a key role in defining business requirements, creating use cases, right-scoping launches, managing Agile delivery, and coordinating with third-party integrators and support systems.
Over the course of one year, we successfully launched 4 major and 6 minor releases, delivering measurable business outcomes:
30% improvement in team lead time / productivity
10,000+ app downloads
Peak sales revenue of USD 30,000/day
App rating above 4.5
40,000+ registered users
30% repeat customers
1,000+ activities hosted on the platform
This was a significant milestone in Decathlon’s digital and online revenue journey, especially during the Covid period, as the company accelerated its transition toward scalable omnichannel and community-led digital experiences.
Across my career, I have consistently operated at the intersection of business strategy, product delivery, Agile execution, stakeholder management, and technology leadership. I am comfortable stepping into roles that require program setup, delivery governance, backlog and roadmap planning, client communication, process optimization, vendor coordination, and driving execution across globally distributed teams. My ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery execution allows me to quickly add value in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments.
